The company says there are no known incidents or complaints related to the issue but it is taking the precautionary measure to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage in a severe collision.


A Chrysler spokeswoman told just-auto the recall also applies to vehicles sold overseas, including right-hand drive versions.


In addition, approximately one-quarter of the PT Cruisers will also be recalled to check the under-bonnet fuel supply line which may rub against the air conditioning service port and could result in a fuel leak.


Dealers will attach a clip to the fuel line to prevent contact.
